Mobile App Development for Smart Construction Site Work Processing

The fourth industrial revolution utilizing the internet of things (IoT), drones, and deep learning, which communicate with various devices based on wireless internet, has been rising of late. Wireless internet has made smartphones a necessity for everyday life, and accordingly, construction sites are looking for easier and more convenient ways of carrying out efficient construction management using smartphones. As the construction sites are far from the construction site offices, the construction workers perform work on the sites with a variety of reference books and materials. This inconvenience may lead to construction accidents, and as such, the demand for mobile app development for simplifying work is increasing. Therefore, in this study, the trends of mobile research and mobile app development, and their application to the construction field, were investigated to develop a mobile app that would help construction workers process their work. Based on this, mobile services applicable to construction sites and work process improvement plans were proposed. To apply the proposed work process, the functions of the existing construction project management system were improved, and a mobile app that could be used in both the Android and iOS environments was developed.
